Abstract
A new way of analysing radio observations for evidence of a radio halo around the Galaxy is presented. When applied to appropriate measurements clear evidence for a weak radio halo with a steep spectrum is found. This radio halo is much weaker than expected on the hypothesis that the galactic cosmic rays fill the halo region.Keywords
